Supply Range: 2.7V to 5.3V
–40°C to +105°C Temperature Range
The ADS1232 and ADS1234 are precision 24-bit
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). With an onboard,
low-noise programmable gain amplifier (PGA),
precision delta-sigma ADC and internal oscillator, the
ADS1232/4 provide a complete front-end solution for
bridge sensor applications including weigh scales,
strain gauges and pressure sensors.
The input multiplexer accepts either two (ADS1232)
or four (ADS1234) differential inputs. The ADS1232
also includes an onboard temperature sensor to
monitor ambient temperature. The onboard, low-noise
PGA has a selectable gain of 1, 2, 64, or 128
supporting a full-scale differential input of ±2.5V,
±1.25V, ±39mV, or ±19.5mV. The delta-sigma ADC
has 23.5-bit effective resolution and is comprised of a
3rd-order modulator and 4th-order digital filter. Two
data rates are supported: 10SPS (with both 50Hz and
60Hz rejection) and 80SPS. The ADS1232/4 can be
clocked externally using an oscillator or a crystal.
There is also an internal oscillator available that
requires no external components. Offset calibration is
performed on-demand and the ADS1232/4 can be
put in a low-power standby mode or shut off
completely in power-down mode. All of the features of
the ADS1232/4 are operated through simple
pin-driven control. There are no digital registers to
program in order to simplify software development.
Data are output over an easily-isolated serial
interface that connects directly to the MSP430 and
other microcontrollers.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
ORDERING INFORMATION
For the most current package and ordering information, see the Package Option Addendum at the end of this
data sheet, or see the TI website at www.ti.com.

NOISE PERFORMANCE
The ADS1232/4 offer outstanding noise performance that can be optimized for a given full-scale range using the
on-chip programmable gain amplifier. Table 1 through Table 4 summarize the typical noise performance with
inputs shorted externally for different gains, data rates, and voltage reference values.
The RMS and Peak-to-Peak noise are referred to the input. The Effective Number of Bits (ENOB) is defined as:
• ENOB = ln (FSR/RMS noise)/ln(2)
The Noise-Free Bits are defined as:
• Noise-Free Bits = ln (FSR/Peak-to-Peak Noise)/ln(2)
Where FSR (Full-Scale Range) = VREF/Gain

OVERVIEW
TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ADS1232 only)
The ADS1232 and ADS1234 are highly integrated,
24-bit ADCs that include an input multiplexer,
low-noise PGA, third-order delta-sigma (ΔΣ)
modulator, and fourth-order digital filter. With
input-referred RMS noise down to 17nV, the
ADS1232/4 are ideally suited for measuring the very
low signals produced by bridge sensors in
applications such as weigh scales, strain gauges, and
pressure sensors.
On-chip
diodes
provide
temperature-sensing
capability. By setting the TEMP pin high, the selected
analog inputs are disconnected and the inputs to the
ADC are connected to the anodes of two diodes
scaled to 1x and 80x in current and size, as shown in
Figure 26. By measuring the difference in voltage of
these diodes, temperature changes can be inferred
from a baseline temperature. Typically, the difference
in diode voltage is 111.7mV at 25°C with a
temperature coefficient of 379µV/°C. With PGA = 1
and 2, the difference voltage output from the PGA will
be 111.7mV and 223.4mV, respectively. With PGA =
64 and 128, it is impossible to use the temperature
sensor function. A similar structure is used in the
MSC1210 for temperature measurement. For more
information, see TI application report SBAA100,
Using the MSC121x as a High-Precision Intelligent
Temperature Sensor, available for download at
www.ti.com.
Clocking can be supplied by an external oscillator, an
external crystal, or by a precision internal oscillator.
Data can be output at 10SPS for excellent 50Hz and
60Hz rejection, or at 80SPS when higher speeds are
needed. The ADS1232/4 are easy to configure, and
all digital control is accomplished through dedicated
pins; there are no registers to program. A simple
two-wire serial interface retrieves the data.
ANALOG INPUTS (AINPx, AINNx)
The input signal to be measured is applied to the
input pins AINPx and AINNx. The positive internal
input is generalized as AINP, and the negative
internal input generalized as AINN. The signal is
selected through the input mux, which is controlled by
pins A0 and A1 (ADS1234 only), as shown in
Table 5. For the ADS1232, the A1 pin is replaced by
the TEMP pin to activate the onboard diodes (see the
Temperature Sensor section for more details). The
ADS1232/4 accept differential input signals, but can
also measure unipolar signals. When measuring
unipolar (or single-ended signals) with respect to
ground, connect the negative input (AINNx) to ground
and connect the input signal to the positive input
(AINPx). Note that when the ADS1232/4 are
configured this way, only half of the converter
full-scale range is used, since only positive digital
output codes are produced.

LOW-NOISE PGA
Bypass Capacitor
The ADS1232/4 features a low-drift, low-noise PGA
that provides a complete front-end solution for bridge
sensors. A simplified diagram of the PGA is shown in
Figure 27. It consists of two chopper-stabilized
amplifiers (A1 and A2) and three accurately-matched
resistors (R1, RF1, and RF2), which construct a
differential front-end stage with a gain of 64, followed
by gain stage A3. The PGA inputs are equipped with
an EMI filter, as shown in Figure 27. The cut-off
frequency of the EMI filter is 19.6MHz. If the PGA is
set to 1 or 2, the gain-of-64 stage is bypassed and
shut down to save power. With the combination of
both gain stages, the PGA can be set to 64 or 128.
The PGA of the ADS1232/4 can be set to 1, 2, 64, or
128 with pins GAIN1 (MSB) and GAIN0 (LSB). By
using AVDD as the reference input, the bipolar input
ranges from ±2.5V to ±19.5mV, while the unipolar
ranges from 2.5V to 19.5mV. When the PGA is set to
1 or 2, the absolute inputs can go rail-to-rail without
significant performance degradation. However, the
inputs of the ADS1232/4 are protected with internal
diodes connected to the power-supply rails. These
diodes will clamp the applied signal to prevent it from
damaging the input circuitry. On the other hand, when
the PGA is set to 64 or 128, the operating input range
is limited to (AGND + 1.5V) to (AVDD – 1.5V), in
order to prevent saturating the differential front-end
circuitry and degrading performance.
By applying a 0.1µF external capacitor (CEXT) across
two capacitor pins and the combination of the internal
2kΩ resistor RINT on-chip, a low-pass filter (with a
corner frequency of 720Hz) is created to bandlimit the
signal path prior to the modulator input. This low-pass
filter serves two purposes. First, the input signal is
bandlimited to prevent aliasing as well as to filter out
the high-frequency noise. Second, it attenuates the
chopping residue from the PGA (for gains of 64 and
128 only) to improve temperature drift performance. It
is not required to use high quality capacitors (such as
ceramic or tantalum capacitors) for a general
application. However, high quality capacitors such as
poly are recommended for high linearity applications.

The voltage reference used by the modulator is
generated from the voltage difference between REFP
and REFN: VREF = REFP – REFN. The reference
inputs use a structure similar to that of the analog
inputs. In order to increase the reference input
impedance, a switching buffer circuitry is used to
reduce the input equivalent capacitance. The
reference drift and noise impact ADC performance. In
order to achieve best results, pay close attention to
the reference noise and drift specifications. A
simplified diagram of the circuitry on the reference
inputs is shown in Figure 28. The switches and
capacitors can be modeled with an effective

ESD diodes protect the reference inputs. To prevent
these diodes from turning on, make sure the voltages
on the reference pins do not go below GND by more
than 100mV, and likewise, do not exceed AVDD by
100mV:
GND – 100mV < (REFP or REFN) < AVDD + 100mV
Figure 29. Equivalent Circuitry of the Clock
Source
When the clock source is a crystal, simply connect
the 4.9152MHz crystal across the CLKIN/XTAL1 and
XTAL2 pins. Table 6 shows the recommended part
numbers. Due to the low-power design of the parallel
resonant driver circuitry onboard, both the
CLKIN/XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins are only for use with
external crystals; they should not be used as clock
output drivers for external circuitry. No external
capacitors are used with the crystal; it is
recommended to place the crystal close to the part in
order to reduce board stray capacitance for both the
CLKIN/XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins and to insure proper
operation.
Table 6. Recommended Crystals
CLOCK SOURCES
The ADS1232/4 can use an external clock source,
external crystal, or internal oscillator to accommodate
a wide variety of applications. Figure 29 shows the
equivalent circuitry of the clock source. The
CLK_DETECT block determines whether the crystal
oscillator/external clock signal is applied to the
CLKIN/XTAL1 pin so that the internal oscillator is
bypassed or activated. When the CLKIN/XTAL1 pin
frequency is above ~200kHz, the CLK_DETECT
output goes low and shuts down the internal
oscillator. When the XIN pin frequency is below
~200kHz, the CLK_DETECT output goes high and
activates the internal oscillator. It is highly
recommended to hard-wire the CLKIN/XTAL1 pin to
ground when the internal oscillator is chosen.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
4
The ADS1232/4 use a sinc digital filter with the
frequency response (fCLK = 4.9152MHz) shown in
Figure 30. The frequency response repeats at
multiples of the modulator sampling frequency of
76.8kHz. The overall response is that of a low-pass
filter with a –3dB cutoff frequency of 3.32Hz with the
SPEED pin tied low (10SPS data rate) and 11.64Hz
with the SPEED pin tied high (80SPS data rate).
Figure 31(b) shows the zoom in plot for both 50Hz
and 60Hz notches with the SPEED pin tied low
(10SPS data rate). With only a ±3% variation of the
internal oscillator, over 100dB of normal-mode
rejection is achieved.

The benefit of using a sinc filter is that every
frequency notch has four zeros on the same location.
This response, combined with the low drift internal
oscillator, provides an excellent normal-mode
rejection of line-cycle interference.

Figure 31. Frequency Response Out To 100Hz
The ADS1232/4 data rate and frequency response
scale directly with clock frequency. For example, if
fCLK increases from 4.9152MHz to 6.144MHz when
the SPEED pin is tied high, the data rate increases
from 80SPS to 100SPS, while notches also increase
from 80Hz to 100Hz. Note that this is only possible
when the external clock source is applied.

SETTLING TIME
After changing the input multiplexer, the first data are
fully settled. In both the ADS1232/4, the digital filter is
allowed to settle after toggling either the A1 or A0 pin.
Toggling any of these digital pins will hold the
DRDY/DOUT line high until the digital filter is fully
settled. For example, if A0 changes from low to high,
selecting a different input channel, DRDY/DOUT
immediately goes high, and DRDY/DOUT goes low
when fully-settled data are ready for retrieval. There
is no need to discard any data. Figure 32 shows the
timing of the DRDY/DOUT line as the input
multiplexer changes.
switching input channels. Another example would be
toggling the TEMP pin, which switches the internal
AINP, AINN signals to connect to either the external
AINPx, AINNx pins or to the TEMP diode (see
Figure 26).
Note that when settling data, five readings may be
required. If the change in input occurs in the middle
of the first conversion, four more full conversions of
the fully-settled input are required to get fully-settled
data. Discard the first four readings because they
contain only partially-settled data.Figure 33 illustrates
the settling time for the ADS1232/4 in Continuous
Conversion mode.
In certain instances, large and/or abrupt changes in
input will require four data cycles to settle. One
example of such a change would be an external
multiplexer in front of the ADS1232/4, which can
cause large changes in input voltage simply by

DATA RATE
DATA READY/DATA OUTPUT (DRDY/DOUT)
The ADS1232/4 data rate is set by the SPEED pin,
as shown in Table 7. When SPEED is low, the data
rate is nominally 10SPS. This data rate provides the
lowest noise, and also has excellent rejection of both
50Hz and 60Hz line-cycle interference. For
applications requiring fast data rates, setting SPEED
high selects a data rate of nominally 80SPS.
This digital output pin serves two purposes. First, it
indicates when new data are ready by going low.
Afterwards, on the first rising edge of SCLK, the
DRDY/DOUT pin changes function and begins
outputting the conversion data, most significant bit
(MSB) first. Data are shifted out on each subsequent
SCLK rising edge. After all 24 bits have been
retrieved, the pin can be forced high with an
additional SCLK. It will then stay high until new data
are ready. This configuration is useful when polling
on the status of DRDY/DOUT to determine when to
begin data retrieval.

DATA FORMAT
The ADS1232/4 output 24 bits of data in binary two’s
complement format. The least significant bit (LSB)
has a weight of 0.5VREF/(223 – 1). The positive
full-scale input produces an output code of 7FFFFFh
and the negative full-scale input produces an output
code of 800000h. The output clips at these codes for
signals exceeding full-scale. Table 8 summarizes the
ideal output codes for different input signals.
SERIAL CLOCK INPUT (SCLK)
This digital input shifts serial data out with each rising
edge. This input has built-in hysteresis, but care
should still be taken to ensure a clean signal. Glitches
or slow-rising signals can cause unwanted additional
shifting. For this reason, it is best to make sure the
rise-and-fall times of SCLK are less than 50ns.

DATA RETRIEVAL
indicating that new data are being updated. To avoid
having DRDY/DOUT remain in the state of the last
bit, the user can shift SCLK to force DRDY/DOUT
high, as shown in Figure 35. This technique is useful
when a host controlling the device is polling
DRDY/DOUT to determine when data are ready.
The ADS1232/4 continuously convert the analog
input signal. To retrieve data, wait until DRDY/DOUT
goes low, as shown in Figure 34. After this occurs,
begin shifting out the data by applying SCLKs. Data
are shifted out MSB first. It is not required to shift out
all 24 bits of data, but the data must be retrieved
before new data are updated (within t7) or else it will
be overwritten. Avoid data retrieval during the update
period (t6). DRDY/DOUT remains at the state of the
last bit shifted out until it is taken high (see t6),

OFFSET CALIBRATION
When the calibration is completed, DRDY/DOUT
goes low, indicating that new data are ready. The
analog input pins are disconnected within the ADC
and the appropriate signal is applied internally to
perform the calibration. The first conversion after a
calibration is fully settled and valid for use. The offset
calibration takes exactly the same time as specified in
(t8) right after the falling edge of the 26th SCLK.
Offset calibration can be initiated at any time to
remove the ADS1232/4 inherited offset error. To
initiate offset calibration, apply at least two additional
SCLKs after retrieving 24 bits of data. Figure 36
shows the timing pattern. The 25th SCLK will send
DRDY/DOUT high. The falling edge of the 26th SCLK
will begin the calibration cycle. Additional SCLK
pulses may be sent after the 26th SCLK; however,
activity on SCLK should be minimized during offset
calibration for best results.

STANDBY MODE
Standby
mode
dramatically
reduces
power
consumption by shutting down most of the circuitry. In
Standby mode, the entire analog circuitry is powered
down and only the clock source circuitry is awake to
reduce the wake-up time from the Standby mode. To
enter Standby mode, simply hold SCLK high after
DRDY/DOUT goes low; see Figure 37. Standby mode
can be initiated at any time during readback; it is not
necessary to retrieve all 24 bits of data beforehand.
When t10 has passed with SCLK held high, Standby
mode will activate. DRDY/DOUT stays high when
Standby mode begins. SCLK must remain high to
stay in Standby mode. To exit Standby mode
(wakeup), set SCLK low. The first data after exiting
Standby mode is valid.

STANDBY MODE WITH
OFFSET-CALIBRATION
Offset-calibration can be set to run immediately after
exiting Standby mode. This is useful when the
ADS1232/4 is put in Standby mode for long periods
of time, and offset-calibration is desired afterwards to
compensate for temperature or supply voltage
changes.
To force an offset-calibration with Standby mode, shift
25 SCLKs and take the SCLK pin high to enter
Standby mode. Offset-calibration then begins after
wake-up; see Figure 38 for the appropriate timing.
Note the extra time needed after wake-up for
calibration before data are ready. The first data after
Standby mode with offset-calibration is fully settled
and can be used right away.

POWER-UP SEQUENCE
AVDD
DVDD
When powering up the ADS1232/34, AVDD and
DVDD must be powered up before the PDWN pin
goes high, as shown in Figure 39. If PDWN is not
controlled by a microprocessor, a simple RC delay
circuit must be implemented, as shown in Figure 40.
PDWN
³10ms
Figure 39. Power-Up Timing Sequence
POWER-DOWN MODE
Power-Down mode shuts down the entire ADC
circuitry and reduces the total power consumption
close to zero. To enter Power-Down mode, simply
hold the PDWN pin low. Power-Down mode also
resets the entire circuitry to free the ADC circuitry
from locking up to an unknown state. Power-Down
mode can be initiated at any time during readback; it
is not necessary to retrieve all 24 bits of data
beforehand. Figure 41 shows the wake-up timing
from Power-Down mode.

Figure 42 shows a typical ADS1232 hook-up as part
of a weigh-scale system. In this setup, the ADS1232
is configured to channel one input with a gain of 128
at a 10SPS data rate. Note that the internal oscillator
is used by grounding the CLKIN/XTAL1 pin. The user
can also apply either a 4.9152MHz crystal across the
CLKIN/XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins, or simply apply a
clock to the CLKIN/XTAL1 pin. For a typical 2mV/V
load cell, the maximum output signal is approximately
10mV for a single +5V excitation voltage. The
ADS1232/4 can achieve 18.4 noise-free bits at
10SPS when the PGA = 128 (refer to Table 1). With
the extra software filtering/averaging (typically done
by a microprocessor), an extra bit can be expected.
FS
ǒFS
Ǔ
Noise−Free Counts + ǒ2 BITEffǓ
LC
Ǔ
With +5V supply voltage, 177,385 noise-free counts
can be expected from the ADS1232/4 with the
onboard PGA set to 128.
Thermocouple
See Figure 43 for the ADS1232 in a thermocouple
application. In this example, a type k thermocouple is
used; the temperature range is from –260°C to
+900°C when the gain is set to 64 to maximize the
full input range of the ADS1232. R1 and a
REF1004-2.5V are used to set the common-mode
voltage
to
2.5V
for
ungrounded
junction
thermocouples. With a gain of 128, the ADS1232
input has a typical noise of 17nVRMS for extremely
high-resolution applications.
AD
Where:
BITEFF = effective noise-free bits (18.4 + 1 bit
from software filtering/averaging)
FSLC = full-scale output of the load cell (10mV)
FSAD = full-scale input of the ADS1232/4 (39mV
when PGA = 128)
24
If either a wider temperature range application is
required (up to +1350°C, for example), or a grounded
junction thermocouple is used, pin 1 of the
thermocouple can be grounded (see Figure 44).
When the gain is set to 2, the ADS1232 input has a
typical 500nV offset error and a noise level of
270nVRMS, which is good for all kinds of low-voltage
output sensors. Note that to calculate the actual
thermocouple temperature, the ADS1232 internal
temperature sensor can be accessed in order to
measure the cold junction temperature along with the
thermocouple reading.

RTDs and Thermistors
Figure 45 shows a typical schematic for a style 2
(three-wire) RTD application. R1 and R2 are used to
excite the RTD as well as establish the
common-mode voltage of the ADS1232 PGA.
By using both differential channels of the ADS1232,
the temperature change in lead resistance, RL, can
be eliminated. This condition is accomplished by
using the following formula:
(AINP1 – AINN1) – 2(AINP2 – AINN2).

information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
